i think the sharing points might affect D's willingness to be shared but the progress of D being shared to whom is dependent on your game choices. The game still hasn't come to the point where D is actually shared to anyone yet... just the build-up.

That's entirely up to you. What I've done was made 1 main DMD folder and putting both chapters into their own sub-folders.
Ex: C:\Dating my Daughter\Dating my Daughter CH1 v0.1-0.14
C:\Dating my Daughter\Dating my Daughter CH2 v0.15-0.18

That's a good point, which I only implied above: the flavor of this VN was originally spiked by incest fantasy, which seems to have been fully wrapped in the struggle for romance to find a way, etc.

Yeah, as much as I like how the kink adds fun sparks here and there, I really wanted to see if this could evolve a form of (fantasy) maturity beyond the romantic fog and associated sexual barrel ride that's come about. THAT could have made this series hit another level, IMHO.
A very good move by MrDots. He really captured the audience with that. F & D's reunion was great hit. Right now their parental relationship matters little to nothing to the audience... they're looking forward to the blossom of the romance.
I think the incest thing really adds a "excitement" to the game, its like playing video games where you blow up stuff or whatever, it's not right, but fun in a video game, i even avoided this game for the longest time because of the incest theme, but i think it only makes the game better.
None of my favorite relationships in the game are the incest things but still i think its a crucial part of the game that only makes it better. So i think it matters just as a extra "interesting" thing, but just my personal opinion of course.
Oh and even tho I'm much younger than the MC and not a dad, I like the feeling for some reason lol that you feel responsible and take care of all the girls, you feel almost like a step-dad to Elena and Jennifer too, and that is really fun for some reason....

FYI, my work on this episode of DMD is done -I’m shifting over to Melody. My schedule is turning into a mid-month to mid-month input schedule, and Hearsz and MDots finish the month between the two of them.
Nah I see no point in arguing with opposing opinions. Each of us have our own preferences and kinks. While you say all swerves are shit, to me this happened to be good shit lol.
I agree that incest does add excitement to the game. And since it's just a game so players don't mind the incest content which is the same case for me. I didn't mind the incest content, I'm more into the progress of the game/story. Heck I played Melody and liked it just as DMD. And yeah as a player, I like the feeling taking care of the girls from other predators (other than me lol). Just making a little joke to the side man lol.

I think the goalposts were moved by Patreon and for good or bad the game had to adapt or die, for example the tr-monthly updates. Like most DMD fans I would have preferred every-other month. Unfortunately for DMD the Melody Patreon fans have to be kept happy, but I digress.
You are correct about swerves being potentially bad, they can become jumping the shark where updates get more and more off the path and in danger of becoming more outrageous.

Vtv,
I’m not lamenting the romantic depth - my worry is that we will end with a storybook ending, which is home and hearth (maybe a wedding), but still have left on the table some great character development. My lament is, being married, that ending is only the beginning, and we will miss some of that. There’s a lot of relationship growth after “marriage” (and, imo, the most important growth). Chapter 2 was always set (as far as I can tell) to end with “tying the knot” - either figuratively or literally. Chapter 3would explore things sexually, which I understand, but would also explore the F/D relationship now they are an open (if being secretive about the incest aspect) couple. The risk of skipping that relationship exploration is what I lament. I am advocating alternate ways to cover it if there is no Chapter 3 - such as single episode releases.
Things have been sped up in Chapter 2 - when comparing pre/post Patreon crackdown. I’m not against that for four reasons.
1 - Repetition: There are some scenes where character development or sexual content is (for me) too close to the previous release. Take out those moments and DMD would be @ 1/6th shorter than it is today. I think you can find my reasoning for avoiding repetition in a sexual VN over on my tumblr account.
2 - The Break between F’s Country and Doughnutstan: I’m usually pushing for a more angst and dark storyline - and that makes the moments of brightness that much more brilliant. The angst F & D went trouble on their break was good (I pushed for MC to be more of a total mess, with his apartment in tatters with old fast food trash). However, their break did put them imo on a different state of mind when they reconnected.
3 - D had an Orgasm: This is something I pounded for as a must before the end of Chapter 1. Imo, this was a huge moment that did two things. (1) it opened up D to a whole new experience; and (2) it added a physical element that could overwhelm her inner monologues of doubts. This then speeds up the sexual path. (Btw, this “sexual excitement overwhelms social mores” is, imo, the only way you get to fmf by then end of Chapter 12. I am a firm advocate that D enters into any sexual act willingly and lovingly. imo, that is either due to flow of a sexual romantic moment (carried along by the river of the sexual moment, so to speak) OR due to a learning the excitement it brings to one’s partner, and, over time and reflection, embracing it for oneself (this, imo, would require post Chapter 2 scripting).
4 - Reality Bites: As we all recall, there was discussion whether or not DMD would shut down. This came closer to happening than I would like to admit, but I was 90% sure at all times there would be something to close out DMD satisfactorily. Added to that, the work of closing out one chapter and transitioning to another chapter - that requires extra work and calculation that it creates incentive to complete the project by Chapter 2. So an increased pace aids this.
Conclusion: The faster pace fits in with my personal preference as to how the pacing should have been in order to avoid the appearance of repetion. The orgasm and break are two story moments that aid the characters to transition into a faster pace. And the Patreon/chapter break realities add to an non-story incentive to get to the “storybook ending” by the end of Chapter 2.

Vtv, btw, weirdly enough the split developement schedule really helps me. This is my schedule, which runs from mid-month to mid-month.
(1) while MDots/Hearsz are closing out that month’s release (for example, Melody), I go back and review the previous release (say, DMD) and then submit a series of articles and inputs on plot ideas, character development, etc. I try to get the bulk of these in on or within 2 days of that month’s release.
(2) During the last week of the month and the first two weeks, ideas will get posted, scenes, and the orders of those scenes will get set.
(3) Then, at the half-month mark, I move to the other VN.
My hardest month is the Melody second month - this is because on that second month of Melody, I don’t final product until the end of the month and all my inputs on that release are compressed into two weeks.
